Rafinha leaving Barcelona rumours are ‘absurd’ - father

Rafinha’s father Mazinho has slammed speculation the Brazilian could be set to leave Camp Nou this summer and insists he will see out his current contract.

Reports in Spain earlier this week had claimed Barcelona would be willing to let the 24-year-old depart this summer should they receive an acceptable offer.

The speculation suggested Rafinha fears for his future once Luis Enrique departs and believes a lack of first-team action will see him miss out on next summer’s World Cup.

However, Mazinho has rubbished the reports and says his son is planning on staying at the club for many years to come.
